Our Team

Arthur Maranian, Jr.

Arthur Maranian began working in his family-owned print shop back in 1960. After being drafted in 1969 during the Vietnam War, he was honorably discharged from the US Navy (serving 1969 – 1973). In 1973 he joined the family business which was a full-service printing company. With nearly 60 years in the industry, Arthur founded Signature Printing & Consulting in 2006 and continue the family-owned business tradition serving discerning clients with his attention for detail and vast knowledge of the industry. He believes in a simple philosophy: clients come first and printing is still a time-honored craft. Arthur places each project with the best-suited print craftsman and meticulously manages the job every step of the way.

Lisa Maranian Tillis

Joining Signature Printing & Consulting in 2010, Lisa Maranian Tillis began her career working at the family print shop after graduating from Colby-Sawyer College. Lisa went on to serve as a production coordinator at Pioneer Investments, JP Morgan Asset Management, and eventually at the distinguished ad agency, Digitas. These past endeavors have made her an expert in everything from typesetting and print buying to direct mail and annual reports. Lisa understands what it takes to manage multiple projects at a time, even under the tightest of deadlines.

Brian Maranian

Much like his father Arthur, Brian Maranian learned the print industry from the bottom up, beginning on the shop floor as a high school student at his family’s print shop. While earning a degree at Bentley University, Brian went on to master every department in printing, from estimating, to prepress, on-press, finishing, shipping, to customer service. Understanding printing both as a craft and as a business, Brian utilizes his knowledge of the latest technology to provide his clients with truly impressive results.

Julie Maranian

Formerly an associate director at Sony BMG Music Entertainment and senior financial analyst at Fidelity Investments, Julie Maranian helps manage the finances, marketing and business development at Signature Printing & Consulting. Julie left the finance world in 2010 to raise her two young children, before eventually joining her husband Brian in the family business. Julie graduated from University of Delaware with a B.S. in Finance and a minor in Marketing.

Testimonial

“Arthur, Brian and Lisa are more than just a ‘printing vendor’ to me – they truly feel like an extension of our company. They know more about printing than anyone around – we go to them for our small 2-color jobs and our big 9-color jobs. I ask tons of questions and they have tons of answers… always within a few hours. They are responsive and on top of every detail. And lots of fun to work with!”
